I had always believed it was due to a combination of lower air flow while stationary and the hot exhaust gases from the car in front (and all around). Once I reached open road again, the temp would come back down. An extended "stop" with the engine running in hot weather, would often result in the aircond not being as cold as normal. On the car is moving, then the aircond would get cold once again. To see this would require an extended stop in hot weather, I think your 30min stop can be considered an extended stop.</p></blockquote><p></p>
